Dear [Mother]

[I] received your letter, will write soon.  We leave here on Monday.  Am writing this on the [shore?].  Hope you are not too lonely.  Have had a very good time.  [Shane?] enjoyed it very much.  The weather is lovely just now.  I tried to get some shells but there is nothing but fine sand.  A lot of people has gone away to [dog?].
Love from Jeannie
I have been to this church.

Postcard shows ‘[First] Presbyterian Church, Bangor, Co. Down.’
A simple view of the ivy covered front of the church, including its steepled tower.  The card has been nibbled by mice.

Postcard shows ‘Ballyholme Beach, Bangor, Co. Down’.  A busy beach, with many people strolling on the sand, sitting on the bank and paddling in the sea.
